Banshees Scream

It's always very difficult for me to be so selective but I'll vote for Sydney Pollack. If it happens It will happen with a bang.

Here is the confirmation. It's probably the shortest obituary I've ever seen in my life. I think we have a record breaker. http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5ijDA5bg...S1Tq1wD8VG3BKO4

Dead

Sen. Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania who believes stress may be a motivator for cancer says 'Never give in' and he hasn't since he was diagnosed with kidney cancer back in 2005. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/23609556/ Yodrak Salakjai, is another story. He is being accused of faking his liver cancer in order to raise funds for fans. One might say this veteran folks singer 'Will never get an obituary!' .. and I didn't think the Guardian would cover Princess Galyani Vadhanna. http://nationmultimedia.com/2008/03/17/opi...on_30068307.php

The problem with Amy Winehouse is she has no balance in her life. Everything she consumes or does has to be at a maximum capacity. Everything except food which she probably only eats Ritz crackers anyway. It looks like she sleeps in the street and the fact of the matter is there is a reason why her behavior progresses at such a sky scraping level. Number 1. Instead of her husband grabbing her and entering her into rehab 'like I would do' he probably just sits and does lines with her - which doesn't help. Sort of like Anna Nicole Smiths lawyer, who probably bought the poison at the local CVS for her instead of taking authority. She just needs an adult in her life.

The bottom line is: I don't see an obituary and the coverage on Mikey Dread is not currently DDP caliber. No matter how many candidates manage to croak during the calender year it means little to nothing unless they get the qualified recognition. DDP is not only a game of death, it's a game of if the death can live up to the expectations set in the rule book. All I can say is 'I'm not dreading this one' I doubt he gets enough media coverage and if for some reason he does get covered 'congratulations'

Relax Mary, we are only in March. Rev Ian Cundy is on borrowed time in my book. Patience is the game and I expect a very explosive April\May coming in our direction.

When you hear 'hopeful' it encourages one to think the show down might be in a couple of months, not days. I guess time waits for no one. Mikey Dread is pronounced dead and there is no sign on an obituary yet. I was skeptical of his condition and fame status which is why I didn't list him. Overall, it wouldn't shock me if he didn't receive the obituary. Then again, sources are unpredictable. Only the 'Jamaica Observer' the same source which reported him 'hopeful' has announced his demise.

Death by Jaaaazzzz Saxophonist Martin Fierro, who worked with the late Jerry Garcia on the 1973 album 'Wake of the Flood' is gone with the stream on result of lung cancer at the age of 66. http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?...5/BAQTVK9UP.DTL

It's Sunday, I'm very busy but I need to confront this situation because it would be my loss to let it go. Look, getting laid off is nobody's carnival. We don't sit in the corner and sob about it, but it opens several doors to many questions 'I have bills to pay' .. 'Everything costs money in this world' 'Where am I going now? 'Is the commute going to give me more anxiety .. ex ex The fact is, on result of all you're current issues: You have debuted with an attitude that is unrealistically selfish. I mean just because you're life sucks at every level doesn't give you the access to share how you want the whole country to live in poverty. It doesn't make sense. That's the mentality of a seven year old. You've mentioned that you have a masters degree and no doubt that is an accomplishment to be proud of. I don't have a masters degree, but I have enough intelligence to realize you're behavior patterns are consisting of 'I had the highest marks'---I am a college educated white collar worker (Excuse me, there) 'So, I'm allowed to complain like a whining bitch and you're all gonna take it! No, that's not how it works around here. How many years of college you completed does not make you shitting on everybody acceptable. I understand how life can be miserable. I understand how it complicates every situation and I understand the challenges you have to deal with. My advice is: It will get better. Losing you're job is not the end of the world. Instead of losing you're job, you could have lost everything. Think about everything else you could have lost, instead of a place to go. You could have lost you're arms ... you're legs ... you're mind... (Pauses) Who knows. Be grateful - Not selfish. Look at what you gain, instead of what you lose. A job is a job - you don't have one so go to Vegas and buy yourself some cheap sunglasses and play for what's in the middle man. Enjoy. Life wasn't made for suffering, think of life as an opportunity you can take advantage of. Construct you're negatives into one positive. Open you're mind to the current options. Live like a legend, live like a bastard. Turn up the volume, get alive.

Vice Marshal Jo Myong-Rok, who is described as 'ailing' is being replaced by Kim Jong-Gak because his probable 'kidney cancer' is getting the very best of him. If Jo dies, Jong-Gak will be appointed head of Korea's general political department. Overall If Myong- Rok manages to outlive this year, I couldn't say I'm fully (obituary-confident) on including him in next years DDP competition. http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/World/K...how/2816363.cms

March usually sets the world of death on fire but I feel for what you're saying. This news week is so f****n slow it's enough to make media junkies want to blow their brains out (OK, not literally but you get what I'm saying) For my DDP team I think Philip Jones Griffiths will be next. Or Pollack, I'll take either one. At this point it's all about patience. Learn to be patient.

He also had cocaine in his possession but when you are a prime contributer on a show like Jackass it's not the biggest shocker ever. Personally, I've seen the show before but it was never my first choice. I've always been under the impression 1\3 of the guys on the show were flaming. Anyway, you don't want to kill yourself. It's not a winning situation. If you are conscious, try to stay here and live like a legend. That's what I say.

If only they knew how much I really spent on all those call girls eh hem ha... CNN thinks 8 times ..... Heh hmmm. Try 36. Ha Hem hmmm.

Wow. Owned. (Are you gonna take that Godot?) Now since my attention has been directed towards this thread I thought it would be in my best interest 'and the interest of everyone else' to realize the figures in thread hijackings have been at a all-time high. The desperate urge to stay on topic has recently transcended into my list of priorities here in the world of death. I understand arguments can spawn in a matter of minutes but let's demonstrate some restraint and bring our bullshit here. There is a place for it, and littering the whole forum just makes everything very unorganized. So from now on I will make the commitment: And I expect everybody else to do the same.

Rabbi Zev Segal, an orthodox leader who truly understood 'The Jewish way of life' vanished last Thursday. After 24 hours of urgently searching and praying they had finally recovered his car in the Hackensack River. His body was later flown to Israel. http://www.jewishpress.com/displayContent_...91&recnum=2

I'm close to hijacking this thread completely so to prevent such an event I'm going to say ... Welcome TAFKAG. The standards here are basically 'be informative' and 'entertaining' at the same time. This place cannot be compared to any other because it's variety of intellectual people along with it's 'general idea' can never be matched. Just try to be on topic, and don't f**k yourself side ways.

Everybody knew it was me, it wasn't my intention to conceal my identity. That's the difference Monoclinic. What I'm doing is not hypocritical... it's called 'asking questions' and one great man once said never stop.

Look, Godot. I've given you several reasons to view my existence here as nothing more then a negative effort. As I understand, you are a veteran journalist who enjoys heated debates, sausages, and immaculate grammar. The fact of the matter is I wasn't 'bullying Tafkag' I just thought his explicit nature 'was off topic' but was also very charismatic. The reason I question his originality is lately 'And I'm sure it's not just me' I've been noticing what I believe to be second and third identities. I feel everybody should just 'be who they are' and with his strong entrance here on DL, I'm skeptical. If he is for real, then we have a new addition that could make everything much more interesting. Anyway, It's just situations like this where I need to correct those who misinterpret the circumstances. I hope you understand. By the way Godot, I just want you to know I appreciate you're efforts and I'm not here to run you down. I'm not here to keep you awake at night. I'm not here to raise you're blood pressure. I'm not here to increase you're depression. I'm not here to make you want to shrivel up into a little ball in the corner of you're bed room. I feel that I may owe you some form of apology, so I apologize.

Senior general, Than Shwe of Burma is rumored hospitalized by some sources. Others, deny this claim entirely. If you are interested in believing (option A) then you might also want to consider that he is dieing of colon cancer. From this article a source close to the military states: "I heard that his health has been deteriorating for about a week." At his show down? Time will let us know. http://www.mizzima.com/MizzimaNews/News/20...3-Mar-2008.html

Before I get started I just want to apologize for having to bring the 'Death By Jazz' thread so off topic. You see Paul, the crucial mistake you have made is you couldn't resist associating me with you're bullshit introduction on how to solve problems. The second crucial mistake you have made is you decided to make up a story line in you're little Canadian mind about a man who you cannot match verbally, about a man who you cannot match mentally, and about a man who is just all around better at life then you. The question I ask myself is 'What the f**k were you thinking? Did you actually think for one f****n minute that I would let you get away with the nonsense you are posting? Did you actually think that Paul? Did you think I would allow you to insult my intelligence at such a magnificent level? What were you thinking. In life, I'm a very generous human being and I give people a lot of chances. It is very seldom that one would find me 'unlike a little deuche bag like you) bringing other people into my own examples and manipulating them for my own self assurance. Sometimes when I read you're posts I acquire the impression that you feel as if 'You hold everybody's perception' and in my eyes you're the guy who doesn't know sh*t 'but who' thinks he knows what the facts are. You know nothing, you are nothing more then a little bi-polar outcast who tries to survive in a cruel world that holds little mercy. You confront people of a higher capacity, and by some delusion you actually believe you have the ability to silence the people you antagonize. Well, that's where you got it wrong asshole. It's my pleasure to inform you. Everything you have just said is a lie. I can't even be bothered repeating it because it will only drive me more off the f****n wall - It's not worth it. So the lesson you learn from this tonight is: Keep you're mind focused on little things you know abowt instead of writing you're own story lines and talking about people who-come -from- New York. Sound familiar? Maybe I'll just leave it at that. Because Paul... For just this once ... In the end it's one mans deception which is another mans example. You have clearly volunteered tonight. Now I hope the Jazz thread can resume because it's wasn't my motive to drag it so far off topic ... it had to happen.

... What a little sh*t bag you are. What are you like 5? Excuse me .. but If any moderators could do a little 'IP address check' I would be interested in the results. Taf kag is littering the database with verbal kisses so that means it definitely calls.

The founder of the 'Trek Bicycle' Richard Burke has stopped short and gone over the handle bars at age 73. http://www.iht.com/articles/ap/2008/03/11/...-Obit-Burke.php

Sheikh Hasina, the former prime minister of Bangladesh (from - 1996 to 2001) is hospitalized and suffering from multiple complications. The extremity of her condition consists of problems with ears and eyes, skin allergy, and high blood pressure. According to this article this is just the aftermath of grenade attacks in Dhaka. http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/2008-03/...ent_7767492.htm
